Hello everyone! 👋
Here’s our second devlog, where we take a look at what’s been happening over the past two months.
Development has picked up pace as we continue to make the game more complete, alongside numerous playtests and in-game fixes.
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve focused on improving core systems, reworking key roles, and enhancing the overall player experience.
Here are some of the major highlights from this update:
A brand new lobby
Now supporting up to 15 players, featuring a surprise path to challenge your friends.
Reworked roles
5 roles have been reworked based on playtester feedback.
The new game guide
A complete in-game book to help you understand all mechanics, roles, interactions, and threats.
What’s next?
Our next priorities are all focused on preparing your experience for the Steam Next Fest in June.
You can expect:
A visual overhaul of the map, with new areas to explore
A rework of the Blood Moon atmosphere
The addition of a third Blood Moon variant
New languages, starting with Chinese, Japanese, and Russian
After that, we’ll be working on:
A skin system to customize your Little Red characters
Expanded game settings with more options for your matches
Additional language support
In the meantime, join our Discord to test the game and share your feedback. And if you like the project, don’t forget to add it to your Steam wishlist to support us! ❤️
We can’t thank our playtesters enough.
Thanks again to all of you for your support, and see you soon for more updates!
